Beating Mayo and Kerry - albeit in the league - will help lift the gloom after that semi.

Especially beating Kerry in front of a home crowd. They’re owed one.

Yeh but its a nothing game now, much less can be learned even than when they beat yous in a qualifier when Tyrone were a pale shadow of their former team at its best.

However as I said previously yis do seem to have turned a bit of a corner, and as we know, doing that after a huge downer like last years semifinal can be a great fresh start for a team. Add a couple of talented players giving more options and suddenly there’s real opportunity.

I know…but tyrone haven’t been able to beat Kerry since that qualifier in 2010.

Last yr’s semi was a truly brutal experience…probably what ‘09 was to Dublin.

So back to back wins against Donegal, Mayo and Kerry mean more than just 6 pts.

It’s sort of proving there’s life left in the team. And you need that hope with the fans behind the team.

I m sure we did but that’s the only game I can recollect in Croker for some reason. Think it was a play off for a quarter final place in one of the many reconfigurations of the league the gaa used to indulge in. It’s jack Sheedy s goal that makes me remember. An absolute cracker it was.

Well done mayo…showed plenty of heart and fight to claw that bank. Off the weak foot from McLoughlin…they never disappoint in the excitement stakes…brilliant in first 20, then nothing for next 20…saves a few months ink of mayo being finished as well …
